Reflective Questions

I really enjoyed our discussions about support. I found myself reflecting on it whenever someone was complaining about stress or telling me about something good that happened to them. I tried to remember to not give advice, but either be silent and listen, or just encouraging and showing them that I was there for them. When someone told me about how well they did on a test, I tried to be really excited for them and say something like "You worked so hard and deserved this." I thought about when I should be giving invisible versus visible support. I think learning about this topic will help me to become a better friend and girlfriend. If not a better one, at least one that is more aware of how I should be giving support. I also really found the discussions about attachment to be interesting. This makes sense since it is a very important aspect of psychology. It helped me to make sense of why some people may or may not act certain ways, or at least predict why that act that way. I think learning about attachment will make me be more empathic towards people who are "clingy" or seemingly unattached.
They aren't any topics that I think we didn't cover well enough. Each discussion was fairly thorough and I got what I wanted from each. This was my first class related to psychology, so there aren't any topics that I can think of that I want to cover and we didn't.
